This morning while I was getting Bernard washed and dressed, he pulled himself on to hands and knees, and crawled for the first time. Just a few steps, towards the nappy bin, which has been his holy grail for some time now.
Pete was called to observe, and we gave Bernard a little cheer. He gave us one of his well-practised supercilious looks, and retired to the safety of his bottom. Pete has spent the rest of the day successfully encouraging him to venture further across the floor. I think we can safely announce that Bernard is mobile.
I’m really glad that he did this first thing this morning, because I frequently say to Pete, have you noticed that he’s doing such-and-such? only for Pete to say, yeah, I saw him do that on Thursday.
